Tome Importance

so wasn't sure where to put this, but just curious on everyones thought of how important tomes are for each class.

my scale from most to least:

1)wiz/clr/rog/nec
2)dru/mag/sham/pal/rng
3)monk/bard/bl
4)war/sk
5)enc
 
Not sure why this really matters at all, but I disagree with most of your rating. =P

Druids get both an increase to healing as well as dps, so they get more utility out of them than the base classes. Monks (and arguably BLs), being a DPS class should be up there with the other DPS classes. Paladins I'd put down only slightly above war/sk.

I Pretty much agree, you get what 25% more dmg to you 8 second recast nuke and 25% dmg increase to your horribly gimped charmed pet(Atleast I think :x, cus we all know ancient pet really benefits in this)

Yeah, as it stands with enchanters, tomes really aren't of much use. Add in shared mind not working and dire charm being not very useful with PL issues, we sorta get the short end of the stick on AAs. I'm really looking forward to more tome options in Ikisith and holding out hope that someone will fix shared mind.
 
I'd also disagree with most of those. Druids and shamans really should be at the very top. Wizards have 0 healing capability, and very miniscule to no melee ability, thus are actually fairly lowly rated in terms of relative benefit. It really depends on what we are talking about though. Are we talking importance among the classes in relation to each other in terms of amount of benefit, or in relation to their own class?
 
rangers should be closer to top! at least alongside rogues, since they do way more dps than most people give them credit for.

And I agree, as an enchanter- tomes are worthless...sweet i can nuke for 2k base instead of 1600? woooo for only 1000 aas! watch out wizards



Just because its not mentioned enough:

"PLEASE, someone.....anyone....fix the SHARED MIND AA. Or at least refund the aa points for it- or put a better aa in its spot that we can buy. "

As it is now, most enchanters are logged on for buffs for a group, and then told that they need a particular class setup for the zone thats being done (i.e. emberflow) and they cant come. Maybe if shared mind was fully functional that would change things at least a little bit for us. Make me more than a buffbot!

It's not aaas bad as you think. Compare it against bladewind for example. 1150 base v 1520 base. -50 resist adjust v -25, 285 mana v 350. Other than the recast I'd consider them pretty comparable nukes tbh.
 
Enchanters continue to be the most underpowered class.


Shaman/Druid both gain huge benefits from charms. As do Paladins.
 
think my scale would more look like this:

1 Clr shm dru
2 rog rng wiz mag nec bst
3 mnk pal brd
4 war sk
5 ench
 
1 Clr shm dru rog rng wiz mag nec mnk
3 pal brd bst
4 war sk
5 ench

thats mine but I view tome bonuses on heals as highly as dps
 
Pallies more towards the top.

They benefit in heals, DPS and nukes (Stuns, AE's). Spot 2 I'd say.
